Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

2-5 days, I've read.

A couple weeks ago I finally bid good riddance to a monster cold that was with me at least 3 weeks. Started with a sore throat then blended in Constant nasal congestion and coughing. No fever or noteworthy fatigue other than the sleeplessness brought on by coughing spells waking me 3 or 4 times a night. I checked twice for Covid but was negative both times. The worse cold in many many years, I killed at least two boxes of Kleenex

What fake chain lube goes best/worst with what fake chain?

No bro, you must dip wax the fake chain to unlock its true potential. The fake chain quick links are multi use right?

it doesn’t sound like it’s skipping, i’ll shift and it takes one or two pedal strokes before it shifts. It never did this before, doesn’t do it every time, maybe 7 out of 10. Anything I can do? I would say it’s between 8-7-6 cogs.

Old school chains don't have a direction but current ones (at least Shimano 10 speed and beyond) do have a preferred direction.

11s Campy? I wonder if this might be the cause of the noises I'm getting on my Storck.

Cassette lock ring tight?

Could be that the RD barrel adjuster needs a turn. Or, maybe, the derailleur hanger is misaligned.

Always check derailleur performance, when swapping drivetrain parts.

Best I can tell, Campy is NOT directional. Shimano and SRAM are.

Not unidirectional, but the correct side has to be out. To wit, the links are chamfered on one side, right?

Yeah I suppose I might have to check my topology textbook, but I will agree for the square, Peter.

Feel better to indyfabz and ​​​​big john .

I'm sitting here uncomfortable in a particularly unpleasant way because there is no comfortable position. And I peed quite bloody at the hospital, but they weren't concerned. The stone is apparently smashed though. Hoping that I'll sleep ok and then start feeling better tomorrow.
